5-0 out of 5 stars Love this book!
I own many beading books, but this one is a favorite I go back to over and over for the beauty and originality of the designs, as well as for the clear instructions. Projects are suitable for beginners who want to build their skills, as well as for the more advanced. The designs are Native American in theme, yet with just enough of a modern twist to be unique and a great jumping off place for one's own designs. I highly recommend it!

5-0 out of 5 stars Bead tales and design
"Beadwork has an amazing history through the millennia. Even with so many brilliant examples of beadwork found on all continents except Antarctica, the Native American style of beading remains extremely popular worldwide. It is characterized by bright colors, bold designs, and extravagant beauty with natural themes. Embedded in the designs are symbols of spiritual significance to the native cultures originating them."
5-0 out of 5 stars Creative Native American Beading
I have a Master's Degree in Museum Studies, and have devoted much of that study to the care and well-being of beadwork from all over the planet.I also interned at the Bead Museum in Glendale, AZ during the summer of 2000, where I learned much of this knowledge, but also I have worked for the Gerald R. Ford Conservation Center in Omaha, Nebraska, where I learned preventive conservation techniques.I, myself, am an accomplished beadworker, and have found this book to be filled with many great designs and techniques; ranging from very simple, to difficult.The average beader will find this work to be most rewarding, while beginners and advanced beaders alike will definately learn something new.It is one of the best technical books out there, with lots of helpful, clear photographs.

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on bead making
The book gave us confidence that we could make glass beads. Production has not started but soon will.
5-0 out of 5 stars The Nature of Glass Beads
This is one of two books that you should own if you are serious about learning to make glass beads. The step by steps are easy to follow. The hot tip boxes are a nice way to point out important info. The pictures are clear and to the point, and follow the descriptions of the action. The gallery pictures are spread thoughtout each section of the type of bead work being explained.
5-0 out of 5 stars Thanks Cindy's for sharing your craft

3-0 out of 5 stars Get it for the pictures, not the instructions
This was one of my first beading books. I was going to try lots of these designs, of course with twists because I can't just copy a design. Well, when I got into it, I found that the pictures were useful to get ideas from (all designs have color photos) BUT the information wasn't all that helpful. It has instructions like make a peyote band to whatever pattern you like. Then for the closure, make a little peyote loop that the end fits into. Try it. I dare you to make the watch stay on your wrist for more than 5 minutes. I dare you. After making several loops of various sizes, I ended up developing a velcro closure, but the bugs aren't out of that yet. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Any penny is wasted on this one!
Another of those Dover rehashings -- if there were MINUS stars, I'd rate this a million!! There's so much better books and museum/exhibition catalogs on American Indian beadwork, that this title should remain where it belongs: on some dusty dark library shelf.5-0 out of 5 stars there's just one little thing
if you have bought lyford's book, _quill and beadwork of the western sioux_, you already have this book.5-0 out of 5 stars A special guide to a very specific art
This guide to quillwork and its counterpart beadwork was originally published in the 1940s for the U.S. Dept. of Indian Affairs, and sees new light today thanks to Dover. Craftspeople of all kinds will find Sioux Quill And Beadwork Designs And Techniques begins with a short history of Sioux art and patterns to quickly move into the specifics of creating and sewing quills and using beadwork techniques adapted for Sioux designs. A special guide to a very specific art. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected
I bought this sight unseen and see perhaps two bracelets I'd like to make. Items are very simple and use lots of buttons. Rings have 25 patterns, necklaces have 20 and brooches, pins and bracelets have 13 altogether. Explanations appear to be adequate and pictures are fine but the projects themselves are not attractive. Definitely look before you buy this one. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Instant Inspiration!
I can recommend this book because the photograps are well done, as are the instructions. The author obviously knows her stuff and she knows how to share it with others!
2-0 out of 5 stars Not for the inexperienced bead crocheter
I bought this book to learn how to crochet with beads. It is not really a "how to" book, as it is advertised. It has a section on basic crochet stitches (without the beads), but I have been unable to incorporate beads. I will buy another book, learn how to bead crochet, and return to this one when I get some experience.

1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I am new to bead crocheting, although I have been crocheting with yarn for many many years. In an attempt to "expand my horizons" I bought this book after glancing through it at the library. Well, when it came time to make something "simple," I struggled and struggled with the instructions (as did my daughter H), but got nowhere..the bead pattern indicated in the picture simply didn't materialize.In another review posted here someone indicated that critical information about the positioning of the bead was lacking from the instructions! Good thing I read the review (although it was AFTER I'd bought the book)!Now I realize why I got nowhere...the instructions are VERY poor...don't bother with this one...I'm going to try another 1 or 2 recommended by other reviewers... ...

i enjoyed this book very much.it's filled with lots of great projects and the directions are clear.

5-0 out of 5 stars want to make everything
I plan on working my way right through the book as all the projects look excellent. Nothing complicated and the materials are ordinary beads and crystals easily available. Some call for wire and some for fireline, Nymo, etc. Several of the bracelets (including one earring) were notin Bead and button. Fully illustrated and definitely recommended to beginners and intermediate beaders. ... Read more

Half of the projects in the book are wire projects which I was not interested in.This book does not discuss different types of threads, beads, or pliers.I did not find this book informative at all.I would not recommend this book to anyone.

5-0 out of 5 stars Terric even for beginners!
I haven't been beading very long and thought I might have to shelve this until I got 'better'. Imagine my surprise when I found that after a couple of trials and errors, I was able to make the hummingbird without much stress.

I own many of the Interweave Press Bead book series. Beaded Rings not only gave some good designs, but gave some great ideas to use for my own ring designs. I felt the instructions were easy enough.

The design selection and pictures were decent, but more detailed instructions are definitely needed, even for an intermediate beader.

2-0 out of 5 stars I echo the above reviewer...
This book explains knotting fairly well.But as a beginner beader, I found the rest of the instructions confusing and incomplete.I ended up going out and buying the Klutz book (you know, the ones usually found in the Children's section) to beading, which was able to explain things like attaching clasps and making wire loops and the like.It won't get you very far beyond the basics, but at least it gets that far.

2-0 out of 5 stars From a novice beader
I found this book a little skimpy for the price.As a novice, I found a lot of information that was useful but still didn't feel ready to start a project.The glossary of "standard terminology" was exactly 11items, including the information that a bracelet is 7" long and goeson your wrist.In a book only 44 pages long, I think there is moreimportant information to include.3-0 out of 5 stars Bought for a First Attempt at Beading
As a novice, I found the knotting portion of the book clear enough, but there wasn't enough information on attaching clasps - I had to purchase a book by another author. ... Read more

Lark books has done it again with a very well written and photograped book on a cross section of media to make beads with. I will admit that I am already a big fan of Adams and Gollberg's work.
